Esper Harem in the Apocalypse
chapter-510

"You are leaving already?" Reina asked. "I ordered food not long ago. It should be on the way right now. I thought we all would eat together. But if you have something important to do then—"

"Don't worry about it. I will stay for the food then," Rudy nodded and calmly said, "I don't want to be a party pooper. And not to mention, Alice is drunk, so I will have to wait for her to sober up a little before taking her home."

"Rudy~" Alice kept rubbing her body against Rudy while smiling at him.

'I have never seen her smile like this ever since we were kids.'

"There are two Rudy~ Yay~"

"..."

"Hmm~ Why are there two Reina as well? Angelica two too!"

"...."

"Why does everyone have a twin but not me!" She puffed her cheeks and said, "I also want a twin! Rudy, give me a twin!"

"Umm, how about tomorrow?" he responded awkwardly.

"No~! I want a twin today! I will be all alone when I go home! I don't want to be alone! I want to talk with someone!" she demanded.

Rudy rubbed his hand on her back and patted her as he thought, 'That's true. Alice has always been alone. Even more in my past life, Alice and I hadn't become best friends again. I wonder if this was also one of the causes of why she had committed suicide?'

"I also want Rudy's baby. Too many babies so they won't be alone~ Rudy, let's make a baby~!"

'Oh, I would love to. But only if you weren't drunk.'

Rudy glanced around and said, "I will take her to the office. Are you girls coming?"

"Yes."

After Rudy left with Alice in his arms, Reina and Angelica followed him soon after. Jane glanced at Rias and thought:

'It looks like she didn't hear what Alice just said. Still, why is she allowing the other girls to get so close to him? She doesn't know anything, right?

Wait… could it be that she trusts Rudy so much that she thinks he wouldn't betray her? She can't be that trustful, right? If it was me in her place, I would have kept him away from all the girls, but I can't do that.

And when am I going to confess everything to Rias? Rudy said he would do it, but it doesn't seem like he did. Should I tell her tonight? But… we are in the human world, and if Rias gets angry at me… no, I shouldn't worry about what she would do to me, I am anxious about what she might do to Rudy.

What if she dumps him and starts hating him? That would be my fault. I had no idea having an affair would be so hard. Maybe I should watch what Angelica recommended to me.

What was it again? Something about harem eneme? That would help me understand more about harem. Still, I had no idea that the harem was so common in the human world.'

Thus, Jane decided to gain knowledge about the human world and culture in an unoriginal and unauthentic way.

While eating dinner, Reina and Rudy discussed about the contractor's visit, who had said that he would send the bluebrint to Rudy's mail after a few days. The only reason Rudy wanted that was to get a legal permission to build and expand the park.

After eating dinner with the girls, Rudy prepared to leave with Alice and Angelica.

Alice had become a little sober after a while, but as it was her first time drinking alcohol, she was still in the clouds. However, she was sane enough to hold normal conversations and walk on her own.

Once Alice had changed her swimsuit, Rudy bid farewell to the girls and teleported near Alice's house.

'Rudy, is it okay to take her to the house in this condition?' Angelica asked from inside his body. 'Aren't we already past her curfew time? What if her father misunderstands something?'

"Let him."

Rudy scanned Alice's house and sighed in frustration after seeing Gorge had already arrived home. So instead, Rudy teleported to Alice's room and locked her door from the inside.

He placed Alice on the bed and patted her on the head with a smile on his face.

"Rudy…" Alice called his name with half-opened eyes.

"Hmm?"

"Will we have a baby?"

"Yes. We will have a lot of babies."

"Do you promise?"

"Yes, it's my promise to you."

"Ehe… lots of babies…"

Alice drifted to sleep while smiling.

"..." Rudy's softened gaze sharpened as he used his ability to see through the floor. "Whatever it takes."

Rudy teleported near his house and walked towards the front door. He opened it and saw a pair of shoes.

'Oh! Joe is back. But I remember mom mentioning that his trip was expanded. Oh well, who cares. Let's greet him.'

Rudy naturally walked in and went to the living room to greet Joe, but he wasn't there.

Lucy was sitting in the living room, watching television, and Rebecca was making food in the kitchen.

"Oh, look who is here," Lucy remarked after seeing Rudy. "The rebellious prince."

"What's with that weird nickname?" Rudy raised his brow and said, "If anything, you should be called the envious step-sister."

"Wha…" Lucy glared softly at Rudy and said, "I am not envious of anything!"

"Anyway, where is Joe? Bathroom?"

"Yeah. He just returned ten minutes ago. But he said he is leaving soon," Lucy informed.

"What? Again? He just came home, didn't he?"

"Well.. he got promoted to the section chief position just today, so now he has to handle even more things than before. So… he will be busier than ever."

Joe walked out of the bathroom while wiping his hair and wearing a suit.

"Oh, Rudy! Welcome home!" Joe greeted him.

"Same to you."

"Good to see you are doing well."

"Yeah, the sports week starts tomorrow at school, and I am very not excited about them," he sighed.

"Haha." Joe patted Rudy's shoulder and said, "You should enjoy your school time while you can. Once you become an adult, you would always want to go back to being a teenager."

"True."

"Anyway, I need to leave soon. Take care of your mother and Lucy, okay?"

"Always."

"Good. Good."

"Uhm… if you don't mind me saying, why don't you rent an apartment near your office?" Rudy asked calmly. "You shouldn't come here."

"..."
